Can I extend my washing machine hose?

Question

I want to get a new washing machine but the pipes don’t reach. I have been using extension hoses for water and discharge water but I have been told that this is not good. Can the hoses be changed for longer ones? Is this a job for a plumber?

Hi not sure on the information you have been given but it is perfectly OK to extend the pipework on your washing machine providing the connections are secure and correctly fitted cheers Craig

You can change a 1.5 metre washing machine hose to a 3 metre hose.

Hello,
The longest hose you can get is 2.5m. If this is still too short it might be a case of looking to extend the copper feed to washing machine connector then attach the hose on. 
This is a job that can be done. 

Thanks,
Simon

Yes, for a plumber. You need to extend your waste and the copper pipe.

Nick · Answer

You can use extended hoses. Best practise is to actually move the pipes nearer to the machine though.

Dean · Answer

Yes you can buy longer hoses and if your not confident in installing always get a professional to do so.

You are better off getting a plumber to extend the fixed pipework to provide a more secure and leak proof solution.

Martin · Answer

You can get longer hoses, or you could ask a local plumber to see if the services can be located nearer the machine.

Michael · Answer

I would recommend that you get a plumber to move your pipework nearer to where you have the washing machine.

Paul · Answer

No, not really the machine wouldn’t be able to pump that far.

John · Answer

Yes you can get a plastic socket to adapt or you can get a 3 meter hose
